JUSTICE LEAGUE GODS AND MEN BATMAN #1

By now you all know that Batman has become a god of sorts. Justice League Gods and Men Batman brings us to the world of Batman and his acclimation to the role of God of Knowledge, and what this means to Batman and Gotham City.

TV

SUPERGIRL “PILOT” EPISODE

One of the more anticipated new shows this Fall is Supergirl. Surely this episode will look to introduce Supergirl in a origin story type of way in this week’s pilot episode.

ARROW “HAUNTED” EPISODE

Just when you thought that the Arrow-verse couldn’t get any bigger, it goes ahead and makes it even bigger. This week will mark the debut of Matt Ryan as John Constantine. After all, who else would know how to handle the mystical side of things other than Constantine himself.

LIMITLESS “SIDE EFFECTS MAY INCLUDE…” EPISODE

Bradley Cooper is set to return this week on the show as Eddie Mora. Now as we all know, Brian has been tasked by Eddie to be an asset to him, but with Brian struggling to deliver and with Brian’s next scheduled inoculation nearing, the stakes could not get any higher for him.

VIDEO GAMES

WWE 2K16

WWE 2k16 is raring to set an even higher standard on simulation wrestling games. With tons of new features set to make even the most casual fan salivate, WWE 2k16 will be a game that most would consider the best analogue to a live WWE match. Set for release on PS4, PS3, Xbox One, and Xbox 360 this October 27.
